On one of my RH9 boxes, when I do something like 'rpm -q -a moz*' it runs fine when logged in as myself. But when I do that as root it hangs. The process won't even kill unless I use -9.
Tried '--rebuilddb' but that hangs also when run as root and it can't be run without permissions.
Add some -v to it. You might also want to make sure that something else doesn't already have a lock on the rpm database. root can do things with the RPM DB that a mortal user can't. Does this behavior persist even after a reboot?
